Maybe this year, they screened everybody out.
Ah yes, the 0% acceptance rate, making Vanderbilt the most selective medical school ever.

The entire admissions committee is probably enjoying the last week of vacation/sanity.

Got Vandy secondary this AM! filled out and submitted. Fingers crossed. This school is a dream.
Prompts?
Got it! Submitted. F****** awesome. Its happening.
That is awesome!! Were you above the rumored stats (3.8/520+), or were you selected through the second screening process?
is it still the autobiography?

Any idea if all the automatic secondaries went out at once? Aka if we didn't get one this morning, is there still a chance to get an automatic one?
If there is indeed an automatic screen, they haven't all gone out yet because I have a 3.9 and 523 and haven't gotten anything.
It seems we have some trolls about, then.
EDIT: I must point out that cuttlefish_deluxe91, one of the individuals who claimed that vandy sent out secondaries, has been seen inciting dissonance in a number of other school specific threads (eg. replying that he has a 4.0 528 to another poster).

Please, take your time...
😀 please
In case anyone is curios, the reason for the delay is that they are apparently having technical issues with AMCAS and have not yet received any applications.
lol have they actually received no applications? how is that even possible? And wouldn't you think other schools would be having problems too..?
They're having technical issues, as per an admissions representative at a recent professional school fair.
Just got an e-mail saying they've begun reviewing applications.
Just got the MSTP secondary invite
Same!
Same here, but the link didn't work. Just emailed them
Same lol

Secondary is up!! Vandy sent me an email with a corrected link.
MSTP prompts (unsure if they're different from MD) @gyngyn
Write a brief autobiography. As completely and precisely as possible, give a picture of yourself, your family, and events you consider important to you. In doing so, identify the values that are of greatest importance to you. If you have completed your undergraduate education, please comment on what you have done or have been doing since graduation. (1200 words)
Please discuss a challenging situation or obstacle you have faced in the past. Why was it challenging? How did you handle it? Knowing what you know now, would you do anything differently? What did you learn? (500 words)
Still dumbfounded I passed the screen. Good luck sdn famalam

Just got secondary (MD only)!
I also just got the secondary-- 3.91 and 516 so maybe they've lowered the MCAT screen
+3 heck ya home boys lol
Does anyone know if they also screen MSTP applicants? I'm wondering if they just sent secondaries to everyone...?
they send the mstp secondary to everyone according to their website: Admission Process | Medical Scientist Training Program
Never got this email. Does anyone think this means something?
I didn't get one either. It seems like they've been having a lot of technical problems on their end, so I'm not worrying about it just yet.
